HF Habs: Flames or Panthers 1st Round Pick 2025

[MarkovsKnee]

Flames can't score. I think we'll see them freefall to the bottom 8 before the season's over.

They will tumble, but I think they stay out of top 10. Columbus is in the #10 spot and Calgary has a 7 pt lead over them. I think ultimately they finish somewhere between 11-16.

Just need like a .485 point percentage here on out.

which they can definitely do.

Yes, the West is a joke.

That would be nice. I'm not getting my hopes up though. I don't think they have scored more than 3 goals in any of their last 5-6 games. Not much room for error for their goalies and D.

That would be ideal for us, the best case scenario.

They haven’t scored more than 3 goals in a game (not including the goal counted from a shootout win) in 20 straight games. They are 9-7-4 in those games.

Holy smokes! It's hard to sustain anything close to that winning percentage with that level of offensive production.

They are -1 in goals over the season...

I suspect they will run out of juice eventually.

They will but there's enough teams that aren't very good, they just need to remain juiced for long enough.

If they can sustain or moderately drop their pace in December we should be good. Wolf is playing too good to let them crater that hard.

Flames lost but emotional game. They been overachieving on leadership and good goaltending. Coleman, Weegar, Coleman. good leadership. How long will it last though?

This pace should fall off in December. But Wolf is good enough to keep them from bottoming out harshly. We just need another month of above .500 hockey from them and we should have enough buffer to have the pick not fall in the top 10 where it flips to Florida's pick.

They already slowly started to drop, it's just not yet reflected in their rankings yet. It's probably going to be a slow progress torward the bottom while the leadership and goaltending tries to keep the boat afloat.
